Troubleshooting - Pilot Vanishing Point Nib Unit

[DavidtheGnome]

I'm inspecting a vanishing point I own prior to selling and I noticed that the nib unit angles down slightly as shown in the photo below. Is that normal for this design? It would appear so and there is no issue with the trapdoor opening but I was hoping a fellow VP owner could confirm.

That looks normal to me. I had a VP nib that was too straight and didn't really touch the feed. It had a hard time writing.

Mine looks the same.

The bottom part of the nib (the feed?) is level, and it looks like its the top that's sloping down - probably helping with the deploying action.
